Although the gap between Switzerland's comprehensive strength and the Netherlands is already very small, it is not at the same level as the Netherlands in terms of international influence. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Dutch, who were former coachmen of the sea, began operating in Asia in the 16th century, trading with East Asian countries and maintaining this relationship for centuries to come.

Moreover, the Dutch are very willing to take care of the face of the monarchs of the Eastern countries in trade, and the influence of the Netherlands in Japan is still fourth after Britain, France and the United States.

The Dutch are another country that has adhered to free trade for hundreds of years, and when the British were still practicing protectionism and mercantilism, the Dutch had already begun to trade freely.

Later, during the Industrial Revolution, the Dutch still did not give up this business strategy, even if it led to the uncompetitiveness of Dutch industrial production, they did not give up, but used developed commerce to make up for the loss of insufficient industrial development.

Thus, although the Dutch are not a developed industrial country, they are a wealthy country, second only to the United States in first place and the United Kingdom in second place, and third in the world.

Moreover, the Dutch's understanding of the East is obviously not comparable to that of Nordic countries such as Sweden and Finland, or landlocked countries in Central Europe such as Switzerland, so they have launched targeted lobbying for Eastern countries.

Playing the interest card against Japan, they proposed to encourage Japan to develop interests in the Dutch colonies in the South Seas, in exchange for Japan's support for the Netherlands to join the free trade zone of East Asian countries.

Playing the emotional card with North Korea, Queen Wilhelmina sent her only daughter, Princess Juliana, to visit North Korea, expressing great respect for the North Korean royal family, publicly praising the long history of the North Korean royal family, which is one of the most inherited royal families in Asia, and at the same time giving high praise to the achievements of North Korea after its establishment.

He said that the Netherlands would do its best to maintain relations with North Korea and would help North Korea expand its interests in Europe, and publicly asked the North Korean royal family to visit Europe.

Juliana did not express Dutch interests in a very explicit manner. However, after currying favor with the Koreans, the Koreans, who had only been under Japanese rule for 15 years, reached their peak in favor of the Netherlands, and this was the first member of the royal family of a European country to visit Korea after the establishment of Korea.

So the communication between the Dutch traders and the DPRK was very pleasant. The Dutch welcomed North Korea to invest and trade in the Dutch colony in Nanyang and the Netherlands mainland, and North Korea supported the Netherlands in joining the free trade zones of the Eastern countries.

In the Philippines, the Dutch praised the hospitality of the Filipino people, saying that the Filipino people were free and friendly. A smart and excellent nation that very much hopes to establish a good friendship with the Filipino people.

Filipinos have been colonized by Spain and the United States for a long time, and deep down they have a deep inferiority complex, and they are publicly praised by the princess of an old European power, and the Filipinos who have been in office for less than 10 years are really very useful, and the Philippine political elite also hopes to maintain good diplomatic relations with white countries.

The political forces in the Philippines have always been very worried about the reality of being constrained by China, and the national level does not dare to resist in the face of the influence of China's strong national power, and the economic level is almost controlled by Chinese capital. The introduction of Dutch capital to check and balance Chinese capital is beneficial to Philippine political forces, and the introduction of white forces to balance China's influence will also improve the situation of the Philippines.

The Dutch lobbied politically in Siam to support Siam's ongoing campaign to reclaim territory from Britain and France, openly acknowledging the legitimacy of the Siamese demands, and expressing their unwavering support for Siam's legitimate demands if the Netherlands had greater influence in Asia.

Finally, there was the Ryukyus, and the Dutch did not bother much, and it was enough for the Ryukyus to support them just by supporting the Ryukyus to continue to develop trade between the South Seas and China, Japan, and Korea.

The Dutch seemed to have the support of all the Asian countries with ease. Easily join the free trade area formed by these countries and become one of the member states.

But it was not so easy for other small European countries, some of which promised higher prices than the Dutch. However, they could not be recognized by others, and then they realized that this was not an economic problem at all, but a political problem, and that the Dutch could succeed so easily, which was inseparable from their foundation in operating in Asia for hundreds of years.

Compared to the success of the Dutch. The Russian Empire was much more frustrated.

Grand Duke Nicholas did not get the support of any Chinese political forces, because they did go a little too far, the problem of anti-Chinese in Russia was serious, and the national elements who were agitated, the crisis began last year some violent incidents against the Chinese, and as a result, China was forced to make a move to evacuate overseas Chinese, and the impact of this move on China and Russia was too great.

If it weren't for the active performance of the Nikolai government, which quickly arrested some criminals and invited China to participate in the investigation and trial, and Yang Chao was the husband of the Russian female tsar, I am afraid that some radical forces in China would have begun to clamor for the use of troops.

Grand Duke Nikolai really could not suppress the national sentiment at home, because the Russian nation is a nation with extremely serious nationalism, which cannot be solved by changing the ruler, even in later generations, their comprehensive national strength is not a grade of China, and there are still a large number of skinhead members in Russia who reject the Chinese.

In order to suppress the nationalists and even make his political image very bad, a large number of elites opposed to him have emerged in Siberia, including not only the low-level commoners, but also a group of middle classes, and even within the aristocratic group, they began to be dissatisfied with the beginning of the ruling power of Grand Duke Nikolai.

Grand Duke Nicholas came to China to beg his grandfather and grandmother to beg his grandson to tell his grandmother this time, which shows that his political future is in jeopardy, and if it were not for this, this proud nobleman of the Tsarist family would really not be able to pull down his face.

What worries Grand Duke Nicholas even more is that his rival Soviet Russia has been warmly welcomed in China, and the Soviet Russian foreign trade delegation has been received with a high standard in Shandong, and Soviet Russia has spared no expense to sign orders for more than 10 large-scale factories and equipment in Shandong, such as heavy machine tools, shipbuilding industry and power equipment industry, with a total trade volume of 50 million Chinese taels.

Shandong's territory in China's political power is obviously the largest, and if it has Shandong's support, Soviet Russia has obviously run ahead of Nikolai. Grand Duke Nicholas had to think about how to choose once China completely abandoned the Russian Empire.

Unable to find a way, Nikolai could only turn to Yang Chao again, and at this time, he received a news that made him almost nervous, and the Russian army mutinied.
